The preferred embodiment of the present invention is further described as follows. One skilled in the art will understand that the embodiment of the present invention as shown in the drawings and described is exemplary only and not intended to be limiting.

The present invention discloses a trolley cart for disc golf. The trolley cart is designed for disc golf player for carrying the disc golf bag. According to FIG. 1 of the drawings, the trolley cart comprises a front wheel 1, two rear wheels 2, a cart frame 3. The cart frame 3 has a top portion 7, a middle portion 8, and a bottom portion 9. The front wheel 1 and the rear wheels 2 are rotatably connected at the bottom portion 9 of the cart frame 3. The cart frame 3 is tetrahedral in shape. The cart frame 3 comprises an upper rotatable bag stabilizer 4 provided at the top portion 7, a middle bag stabilizer 6 provided at the middle portion 8 and a lower tightenable bag stabilizer 5 provided at the bottom portion 9. The top part of the disc golf bag is attached to the top portion 7 of the cart frame 3 by the upper rotatable bag stabilizer 4. The middle of the disc golf bag is attached to the middle portion 8 of the cart frame 3 by the middle bag stabilizer 6. The bottom of the disc golf bag is attached to the bottom portion 9 of the cart frame 3 by the lower tightenable bag stabilizer 5. The disc golf bag can be securely attached to the cart frame 3 by the upper rotatable bag stabilizer 4, the middle bag stabilizer 6, and the lower tightenable bag stabilizer 5.

According to FIG. 2-4 of the drawings, the upper rotatable bag stabilizer 4 comprises an upper bag mounting base 41, an upper bag rotating arm 42, a quick release handle 43, a handle pad 44, a quick release adjusting rod 45, and nut 46. One upper bag mounting base 41 is fixedly provided on the top portion 7 of the cart frame 3 and there are two upper bag rotating arms 42, two quick release handles 43, two handle pads 44, two quick release adjusting rods 45, and two nuts 46. The two upper bag rotating arms 42 are rotatably installed on the left and right end of the rear side of the upper bag mounting base 41 respectively. The bottom end of the quick release adjusting rod 45 passes through the upper bag mounting base 41 and the upper bag rotating arm 42 to connect with the nuts 46 through the thread portion 451 at the bottom end such that the quick release adjusting rod 45 can be secured in place. The top end of the quick release adjusting rod 45 passes through the handle pad 44 and hingedly couples with the quick release handle 43. A hard plastic material is preferably selected for the handle pad 44 for rotating and turning the quick release handle 43. The quick release handle 43 has a bumpy contour on the outer surface such that when the quick release handle 43 engages with the handle pad 44, it may cause the handle pad 44 to release upwardly or press downwardly against the upper bag rotating arm 42. When the handle pad 44 is released upwardly, the upper bag rotating arm 42 may rotate freely. When the handle pad 44 is pressed downwardly, the upper bag rotating arm 42 is locked and may not rotate. In a locking position, the two upper bag rotating arms 42 provide a fixed distance between the rotating arms 42 such that the hooking portion 421 of the upper bag rotating arms 42 may couple with the top side of the disc golf bag. Preferably, the hooking portion 421 has a curved hook shaped, which is shown in FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings. By adjusting the quick release handles 43, the user may adjust the position of the upper bag rotating arms 42 to customize arm distance for different disc golf bag sizes.

According to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4 of the drawings, the lower tightenable bag stabilizer 5 comprises a lower bag mounting base 51, a lower bag arm 52, a nylon belt 53, a hook 54, a nylon belt strap holder 56, a pressing plate 57, a torsion spring 58 and a shaft 59. One lower bag mounting base 51 is fixedly provided on the bottom portion 9 of the cart frame 3 and there are two lower bag arms 52, two nylon belts 53, and two hooks 54. The two lower bag arms 52 are affixed on the left and right end of the front side of the lower bag mounting base 51 respectively. One end of the nylon belt 53 is connected to the lower bag arm 52 and another end of the nylon belt 53 is connected to the hook 54. The hook 54 is arranged to hook on to the disc golf bag. The nylon belt 53 has a predetermined level of elasticity, pulls down on the disc golf bag to tighten the bottom of the disc golf bag by the hook 54, the pressing plate 57, and the torsion spring 58. The pressing plate 57 and the torsion spring 58 provide a pulling force such that the nylon belt 53 can pull on tightly the disc golf bag with different lengths. The nylon belt 53 can be connected the hook 54 in which a length adjustment arrangement is provided.

According to the present invention, the middle bag stabilizer 6 can be a metal hook which hooks onto the middle part of the disc golf bag such that the middle part of the disc golf bag is held tightly near the middle portion 8 of the cart frame 3, thus preventing the disc golf bag from swinging left and right when the trolley cart is travelling. According to FIG. 5 of the drawings, a disc golf bag A is securely attached on the cart frame 3. According to FIG. 6 of the drawings, the cart frame 3 has a foldable construction.

According to the above disclosure, the present invention provides the trolley cart for carrying disc golf bag which can solves the conventional problem for carrying the disc golf bag with different sizes. It is easy to use and simple in mechanical structure.

It will thus be seen that the objects of the present invention have been fully and effectively accomplished. It embodiments have been shown and described for the purposes of illustrating the functional and structural principles of the present invention and is subject to change without departure from such principles. Therefore, this invention includes all modifications encompassed within the spirit and scope of the following claims.
